Hi,

Is there any api like ElasticSearch nest api for Logstash so that I can automate the loading of data programmatic. As of now I am using process and the triggering the bin and passing the command "logstash -f "

Thanks,
Rajeev

There will be a monitoring API for Logstash in the next version, but no data loading API in the foreseeable future.

But I guess it will be not difficult to create an API for logstash and it will be very useful.

PRs are definitely welcome

Logstash already has a large number of input plugins, including beats, file, http, tcp, and udp that all might fit your purpose. Why do you need an additional API?

I was looking if we can just configure the input,filter and output progmattically.
